Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. High.

  • In the context of the Green Revolution, 'H' in HYV stands for 'High.' HYV stands for 'High-Yielding Variety.'
  • These high-yielding crop varieties were developed and introduced during the Green Revolution to significantly increase agricultural productivity by producing greater yields per unit of land and resources, such as water and fertilizers.
  • With the adoption of HYVs, the Green Revolution played a crucial role in addressing food security challenges by increasing crop production, particularly of staple crops like rice and wheat.
